Book Description
Society tells us we have the power and where-with-all to make it on our own. The Passionate Journey runs counter to these voices of self-sufficiency with a thoughtful collection of 47 Lenten devotions leading up to the most sacred time of the year—Easter. Through guided reflection, Scripture reading, journaling, silence and prayer, we are drawn into the peace that is generated by solitude, and prompted to reorganize our priorities, to slow down and appreciate the ultimate sacrifice made by Christ on our behalf. These well-crafted devotional readings are divided into four, 10-day sections with a special portion for Easter holy week, especially designed to help readers attend to Jesus’ sacrifice, and apply the message of the Passion to their life. Additional helps are included in the appendix to help adapt the readings for small-group or family devotions. Even Christians whose faith traditions don’t ordinarily include Lenten devotions will find these reflections a welcome retreat and will help connect their lives to Jesus’ sacrificial story.

Book Description
"To you, blessed soul whom the Lord draws to the desert to speak to your heart; to you alone who chose it as unique, better: that He chose as host of praise forever! Do you want to burn in front of His adorable Face like a very pure wax? Do you want, like the Cherubim, like the Seraphim, to be irradiated with His clarity, ablaze with His love, to be for Him, in your turn, only light and charity? Consent to forget the world, the universe and yourself. If you hesitate to lose your life and lose it, do not go further. The following will not enlighten you. If the abyss tempts you, beg the Lord to envelop you in solitude; to throw you into the silence that it inhabits, fills, where it manifests. For yourself, try to live like this. As much as you can, in the exact obedience and perfect charity, you will avoid these four things, major obstacles to interior silence, and which make habitual contemplation impossible-interior noise, interior discussions, obsessions, concern for yourself. This done, you will have crossed the doors of silence"--

Book Description
“The desert, like an uninvited guest, often arrives without notice. It visits us apropos of nothing. It comes in all shapes and sizes, and shakes our souls to the deep. In the desert, we fear, panic, cry, grumble, and groan. In the desert we quest and quest, ponder and pray. We become thinkers, wrestling with God’s silence and inaction....” “A new orientation, a new direction for life begins with the right questions. It is triggered by questioning who we are, what we are called for; different forms of the question, “Where are you now?” “In the journey after Mount Horeb we are changed, walking with a new heart and a new vision, like Jacob. He was crippled but blessed through his wrestle with God in the Jabbok River. When Elijah left Mount Horeb for the place of life where he had been walking, nothing surrounding him had changed, but everything was changed, because the call was renewed and he himself was changed. He, with a new orientation of life, started walking on the same old road.” From the book, “Walking with God.”
